my stash and after one year of investing

[3]

what up YouTube is your boy Jermaine

[6]

back another video and in this video

[8]

we're gonna talk about the stash here we

[10]

go once you sign in the first page you

[13]

go to is your portfolio page or I guess

[16]

you could go to the home page but the

[18]

home page really doesn't have that much

[20]

stuff here just has you know

[23]

recommendations and stuff like that so

[24]

we're going to go into the portfolio

[26]

page and I've had this account for

[28]

roughly a year I have you know invested

[31]

like 100 bucks 200 bucks a week some

[34]

weeks I you know didn't invest anything

[37]

other weeks I invested a little bit more

[39]

total return is $145 and 54 cents I mean

[44]

come on you're not gonna get rich off

[45]

for this but this is better than not

[47]

saving anything and also total return

[51]

for percentage was is 5.40% not bad not

[57]

bad I mean if you had your money sitting

[59]

in the bank you would get less than one

[61]

percent so that's that's five percent

[63]

and enough you know I actually have the

[65]

cash that I saved up to if we scroll

[68]

down here you'll see stash cash I'm

[70]

available to use you see a balance here

[72]

and you also see a different a balance

[74]

available to withdraw I believe that

[77]

there's a difference between these two

[78]

amounts because I'm a couple days ago I

[80]

like souls and shares but then I also

[83]

bought some shares at the same time so I

[85]

think it takes like a couple days to

[87]

process the seller that sort of an now

[91]

if we scroll down you will see the

[93]

investments that I'm holding now unlike

[96]

Robin Hood where you invest in one

[99]

particular company like you purchase

[101]

stock in Apple you purchase stock in

[103]

Google well on stash you know but you

[106]

don't purchase stock in one particular

[108]

company these are pretty much like ETFs

[112]

like you know there's own groups of

[114]

stocks listed together the first one

[117]

here

[118]

robotics Verizon we only clip on this

[120]

one and as you can see the current value

[123]

is five hundred fifty five dollars and

[126]

eighty six number of shares is 15 over

[130]

15 and shares here

[133]

um now if we scroll down the average

[135]

price for one particular share and this

[138]

ETF is thirty three dollars and fifty

[141]

four cents for example let's say Google

[143]

is trading a $800 $900 a share or if you

[148]

don't have knowledge dollars you can't

[149]

purchase that share of Google on the

[152]

Robinhood platform however with stache'

[156]

if you found a ETF that had exposure to

[159]

Google you know you could purchase $25

[163]

worth on that ETF and you can have a

[165]

very very small sliver of Google now

[169]

this is the first one we're gonna keep

[171]

going down the next one I'm investing in

[173]

is defending America here this is a lot

[177]

of companies that have a lot to do with

[180]

air defense in our plans and stuff like

[182]

that as we can see we have on Boeing one

[186]

of the largest aircraft manufacturers in

[188]

the world then we have companies like a

[190]

Lockheed Martin they specialize in you

[193]

know war planes and missiles and stuff

[195]

like that whenever our country is going

[198]

to war these are great companies to

[199]

invest in so there's a couple more

[201]

companies on here I'm not gonna get into

[203]

what they do but a lot of these

[205]

companies are all about like war and

[208]

building stuff to fight basically um

[211]

that it's defending America and when you

[214]

come over to this page you can see I'm

[215]

defending America I've invested $350 and

[218]

this ETF is about 14% of my stash

[222]

account and I've made a total return of

[225]

nine point sixty percent on you know

[229]

holding you know money into defending

[232]

America and then if we continue to

[234]

scroll down we see blue chips this is an

[237]

ETF that's full of blue chips so if we

[241]

click on this one the first company we

[244]

see here is Apple computer company and

[246]

then follow Microsoft Amazon I don't

[250]

know why they put Amazon here for blue

[252]

chip companies because Amazon it's not

[254]

technically a blue chip company but I

[257]

guess they're getting so big that you

[259]

can almost come up call them a blue chip

[261]

company if if you guys disagree with me

[265]

if if you think Emmons

[266]

is a blue chip company definitely you

[269]

know put it in the comments below but I

[271]

didn't I wouldn't consider Amazon the

[274]

blue chip company they don't pay a

[275]

dividend majority of these other

[277]

companies on this list pay dividends

[279]

Facebook they don't pay a dividend and

[281]

Facebook would not be considered a blue

[283]

chip company but once again some of

[285]

these these Takashi's Bay Area tech

[287]

companies are getting so big that you

[289]

almost can't call them a blue chip

[291]

company and down below we see alphabet

[294]

and they're technically they don't pay a

[297]

dividend and they don't really seem like

[299]

a blue chip company but once again these

[301]

companies are getting massive yo that's

[304]

all in blue chips here and we keep

[308]

scrolling down what are the world this

[310]

one has what over the world they invest

[314]

in companies that that has something

[316]

into a water technology either if it's

[319]

some for like green energy like you

[323]

they've these companies are like

[325]

figuring out ways to create energy using

[328]

water or these companies are doing

[330]

something with water and I did not want

[334]

to leave what are the world hanging so I

[337]

invested just a little bit in water the

[339]

world not that much and then if we

[342]

continue to scroll down American

[344]

invaders we have some Moritz this is

[348]

another one that has more exposure to

[350]

Apple Microsoft Facebook Google whenever

[354]

you see alphabet alphabet is is Google

[356]

I'm a couple years ago late they split

[359]

their stock price and they changed their

[360]

name and as you can see there is a bet

[364]

the first one is Class A well the first

[367]

one is Class C the second is Class A I

[369]

believe Class C has voting rights in

[372]

Class A doesn't also believe that our

[375]

only own class a and not C and then

[381]

there's also visa underneath visa I

[383]

don't know if you guys have ever heard

[384]

but you probably have a Visa card in

[386]

your wallet there's other couple couple

[389]

other companies on Intel Cisco Oracle

[392]

and IBM these are all you know big tech

[395]

companies actually majority of this list

[397]

is tech companies except for

[399]

what these visas not really a tech

[402]

company

[403]

you know we scroll down the list roll

[407]

with the Buffett now this was one that I

[409]

was investing in quite a bit when I

[411]

first started with my stash account but

[415]

since then I've been pulling money out

[417]

of rolling with the Buffett and I've

[418]

been putting it more into like you know

[421]

defense and no dividends and blue chip

[424]

companies because I see that the return

[426]

is just a little bit better than what

[427]

you wake it on rolling with the Buffett

[429]

and we click on some of these companies

[431]

that are rolling with the Buffett um we

[435]

really don't see any companies except

[437]

for Berkshire Hathaway Class B and

[440]

Berkshire Hathaway if you wanted to

[443]

invest in this company just just if you

[445]

want to buy a share that would cost you

[447]

well over $100,000 to bar one share of

[450]

Berkshire Hathaway it's this company

[453]

that Warren Buffett owns and this

[455]

company is very very pricey to invest in

[458]

so if you want to invest in Berkshire

[461]

Hathaway I really recommend you use the

[464]

stash after because it's one way you can

[467]

do it if you don't have you know a

[469]

couple hundred thousand dollars laying

[471]

around to park

[473]

what's rolling with the Buffett and if

[475]

we scroll down here I have 4% of my

[477]

stash I count and park my cash this is

[482]

just um these are just like um really

[486]

safe like funds that you can just park

[488]

your money into um if it usually doesn't

[492]

fluctuate that much but as you can tell

[493]

I don't have a lot of money in this

[496]

particular ETF just because like I say

[500]

it really doesn't fluctuate much it

[502]

doesn't functionally much at all we go

[506]

back out and then um public works I did

[509]

so a hundred bucks and the public works

[510]

just to diversify over time I'll

[513]

definitely pour more and more money into

[515]

public works but for now that's enough

[517]

for public works and then we are going

[521]

to go down and to aggress and mix so

[525]

aggressive mixes you know what it is

[526]

it's just it's an aggressive mix these

[529]

are a bunch of iShares

[532]

you are basically invested in these all

[536]

over the board like well the sp500 ETF

[540]

30% of this aggressive mix is the S&P

[543]

500 that's quite a bit and then you also

[546]

have some international exposure here

[548]

here's a Europe and I guess that's about

[553]

the only international exposure you got

[555]

here yeah that's about it US Treasury

[557]

bonds if you guys want to invest in US

[559]

Treasury bonds I think nowadays more

[562]

people are investing in this thing

[563]

called Bitcoin instead of US Treasury

[566]

bonds and then Margaret mix which I have

[568]

less than 1% of my stash account here

[570]

because it's modern man wants to invest

[573]

in conservative companies I guess if you

[575]

are older than older and you want to be

[578]

more conservative with your money these

[580]

are the companies to invest in but if

[581]

you're younger you don't really have to

[583]

invest in conservative companies as much

[586]

because you have a little bit more time

[588]

to rebound when you're younger but just

[591]

to throw that out there and now this is

[592]

my stash account after one year one year

[596]

[597]

now I haven't aggressively thrown money

[600]

into this - account because I have like

[602]

maybe like eight other accounts that are

[605]

similar to this account so I try to like

[607]

put money in this one year and put money

[608]

in that one here so I can see them grow

[611]

now the whole goal behind this stash

[614]

account is to hit around $20,000 with

[617]

the stash account and then that way I'll

[619]

cash out the money and I will use the

[621]

money to on my first investment property

[624]

in my hometown so that's pretty much the

[626]

plan with this account I'm not trying to

[629]

you know grow it really fast because I

[631]

can said I have a handful of other

[633]

accounts but now I know $20,000 seem

[635]

like a lot of money because over the

[637]

past year it's only hit 2,800 but in the

[641]

future I plan to do a challenge with the

[644]

stash account you know say four thousand

[647]

dollars in a month say five thousand

[650]

dollars in a month now that is my stash

[652]

account

[654]

last year now if you guys want to see

[656]
